Nurse commissioning program seeks enlisted applicants Published Oct. 30, 2009 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Officials at the Air Force Personnel Center here will conduct the annual Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program board May 11-13 to select candidates for fall 2010 start dates. The program offers active-duty enlisted personnel the opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree in a high-need academic major. NECP students will complete their degree at a college or university with an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps detachment or a college or university with a "cross-town agreement." Students will be commissioned after passing the National Council Licensure Examination and then attend commissioned officer training and the Nurse Transition Program. Students will be required to attend school year-round for up to 24 consecutive calendar months, to include summer sessions. At this time, Reserve and Air National Guard personnel are not eligible to apply. NECP guidelines with eligibility requirements and deadlines are available for review at local base education offices.
